Subject: An excellent book for its time

Much of what's in this study can be found in Lenore Coral, “British Book Auction Catalogues 1801-1900: A Preliminary Version of Munby-Coral 2,” 2014; update: 2016.

Coral expands the scope of these early investigations to provide a companion to her earlier work with Munby (for catalogues pre-1800).
